In the village of Anduze, nestled in the heart of the Gard region, Ampholia has been perpetuating an iconic artisanal tradition of Southern France for over 30 years. Founded by Jacques and Nicole Bertrand, this family business celebrates the art of pottery, Mediterranean design, and olfactory memory through unique and refined creations.
At Maison Diaphane , we were captivated by the craftsmanship and the poetic forms and scents offered by Ampholia. Each object is carefully crafted, respecting the material, the technique, and time.
